Denny and Philip,

Here is the first pix that came to mind showing the SC panel in the 
background. In the photo is Steve Orland, at that time in VTR management, but a former 
splicer on Dean Martin (among others). I met up with Steve for a long chat 
about a year ago in 
Vegas. This shows the machine pairing for zone delay. In this case, VTR 3 and 
3A. The SC panel is partially obscured by Steve in the BG.
I may have a better pix somewhere of the SC panel. I would bet that panel had 
at least 25 years of service before it was removed, all constructed by 
Burbank "projects".
You may also be curious to know that the entire tape room and edit bays were 
fully carpeted with ant-static theater carpeting, along with sound absorption 
ceiling tiles. Of course, massive central HVAC and plant supplied compressed 
air for the headwheels made for a quiet tape room, TR's, TCR's, VR's, and later 
BVH's.
